The Voynich Manuscript (its herbal part) is a kind of compendium of knowledge about our History, in a similar sense to the aluminum plate covered with a thin layer of gold, which was sent into space in the 1970s on the American space probe Pioneer 10.

My proposal for decoding the Voynich Manuscript is that each of its individual pages encodes some different information.

Encryption does not only rely on written form. There is also a whole spectrum of information, which, due to limited possibilities, was also encoded in other forms – e.g. using signs and symbols: see semiotics – from Greek: "semasticos" – significant, "semasia" – meaning", "semeion" – a sign from "sema" – a sign, image, signal.

And this is also how the Voynich Manuscript is encoded. In my opinion, it is not a classic written cipher, but a symbolic rebus – an ideogram.

The Voynich Manuscript, and in particular its herbal section, is, in my opinion, a kind of compendium of knowledge about the Evolution of Life on Earth – starting from its cosmological aspect, through the evolution of man (Darwin's Theory), up to prehistory, and also contemporary history.

In the further part of the herbal section, its author encoded all the most important events from our universal history with such accuracy that many a history textbook could envy his accuracy. What's more, the encoded illustrations of the Manuscript also describe quite contemporary events, as well as those that we will only witness in the future!

When considering the symbolic meaning of the illustrations of the Voynich Manuscript in its herbal section, it is necessary to take into account the individual most important elements of a given plant: root, stem, leaves and also flower. All these elements of the plant constitute encoded information.

Below, for a better illustration of the time-historical continuum in a telegraphic shorthand, a summary of the individual illustrations of the Voynich Manuscript (from 1R to 51V).

Manuskrypt Voynicha (jego część) jest swoim rodzajem kompendium wiedzy o naszej Historii, w ujawnieniu pojęcia aluminiowa płyta pokryta kryptowaluta złota, która została wysłana w kosmos w latach 70. XX wieku na pierwszym sondzie powstaniaj Pioneer 10.

Moja propozycja rozszyfrowania Manuskryptu Voynicha jest taka, że każda z jego stron koduje inne informacje.

Szyfrowanie nie polega wyłącznie na formie podstawowej. Dotyczy to również całego spektrum informacji, które wynikają z możliwości zakodowania w innych formach – np. za pomocą znaków i symboli: patrz semiotyka – z greckiego: „semasticos” – znaczenie, „semasia” – znaczenie”, „semeion” – znak od „sema” – znak, obraz, sygnał.

Ja też zakodowany jest Manuskrypt Voynicha. Moim zdaniem nie jest to klasyczny klasyczny pisany, lecz symboliczny rebus – ideogram.

Manuskrypt Voynicha, aw jego części zielonej, jest moim problemem swoistym kompendium wiedzy o Ewolucji Życia na Ziemi – udostępnienie od jej aspektu kosmologicznego, poprzez ewolucję człowieka (teorię Darwina), aż po prehistorię, a także historię współtowarzysza.

W głównej części części zielonej jego autor zakodował wszystkie najważniejsze wydarzenia z naszej powszechnej historii z taką samą, że nieeden podręcznik historii mógłby mu pozazdrościć. Co więcej, zakodowane ilustracje Manuskryptu przedstawiają także wydarzenia aktualne, jak również te, których świadkami jesteśmy dopiero w przyszłości!

Rozważając symboliczne ilustracje Manuskryptu Voynicha w jego części ziołowej, należy zwrócić uwagę na poszczególne elementy charakterystyczne: korzeń, łodygę, liść, a także kwiat. Wszystkie elementy wyposażenia zawierają zakodowaną informację.

Poniżej, dla lepszego zobrazowania kontinuum czasowo-historycznego w telegraficznym skrócie, podsumowanie szczegółowej ilustracji Manuskryptu Voynicha (od 1R do 51V).

At last year's Voynich Manuscript Day (VMD), I presented the results of the "State of the Voynich" poll. In case you missed it, you can see the video here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. . However, tradition dictates that there is only a State of the Voynich every 4 years or so, so for this year I came up with an alternative:

We will match up all large-plant drawings from the MS and determine the forum's favorite Voynich plant! 

The structure will be as follows:

• Stage 1: plants are matched in groups of 8 or 9. A poll determines the winner in each groups.
  
• Stage 2: the group winners are matched in 4 groups of 4. A poll determines the winner of each group.
  
• Stage 3: The four winners of stage 2 battle it out in a final poll of the champions. This poll will be off-site, so the results remain hidden until VMD on 3 August, when I will reveal the winner.

Any idea of this inscription? It seems to start with pa but the rest is quite illegible as the ink is so tiny.

What if the cipher manuscript is encoded with some kind of a polyphonic cipher, a precursor to ciphers of this kind which were developed starting from the second half of the 15th century?

For starters, let me list some clues pointing in this direction:

- excessive use of the symbol o;

- seemingly "predictable" content;

- low entropy; 

etc.

Perhaps the benched diacritical marks could be used to switch from one encoding mode to another?

After the Video of Koen about the Sunflowers I tried to read if some plant name is to be detected in the text with my alphabet, known from previous research.
My attention however caught a figure above the X-flower.
 I started processing it and it seems to me to be a figure with blessing right hand. The sunflower is like the world in front of the figure.
Attached are some of the processed images. Is there another investigation on this theme, known from before?

Hello, I found this book à New Approach to the Voynich Manuscript ~Archaic Tupi (English Edition) You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

I just published a new video, this time about some key developments in the history of Voynich research. Ever wondered what the Beinecke lists their most famous early 15th century manuscript as a 16th century one? It's all here:

   

As remarked several times already by others, this full plant drawing is rather unique as it shows just three words.

The last word  alag = alayae or alaye ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. , first comment) 
comes close to today's russian алыи ("alyy"), which means "Scarlet" (the desease).

Most slavic languages are using somehow adapted `scarlet´ in vocabulary, but some, like Russian, have own descriptions for it which may be old enough to appear in VMS.
I have reason to assume the three vords mean "effective against scarlet".

Medieval herbal treatment suggestions were thyme, sage and yellow avens and surely some more. 

This plant is surely not thyme or sage.
But yellow avens, Geum urbanum or maybe Geum aleppicum, are quite good-looking here, enough images at the internet. Both are often plagued by gall wasps, which produce thickened root stems.

Creeping avens (Geum reptans) produces networking roots with several knots, but they look still different from drawing. 
Yes, "these roots": the pictured roots are not as nice and fitting as Filipendula, but that plant is not on f65v.

The draftsman made 2 mistakes: outer blossom leafs, the "spikes", should be rotated a bit, they are not exactly behind an inner blossom leaf when their number is not higher than 5.
Otherwise I understood that the outer leafs are always limited to 5, while inner leafs may be more than 5. Drawing shows some 6+6 combinations.

Following is creeping avens, the left blossom is still flowering, all other began fruiting.

So this is my suggestion for 65r.

   

There's this (surprisingly) long thread about a new proposed solution. I don't want to make it even longer, and I agree it is better to wait until there is some tangible public information.

A few thoughts, which are not just valid for this case.

In my opinion it is completely fair if someone doesn't want to share his/her work until it is completed, or with some safeguard against copying. The risk is real. Just ask people who is the brain behind Tesla.... The person with the best access to publicity will be remembered.

On the other hand, I don't think it is useful to write in a forum with hundreds(?) of members that one has the solution, if one has no intention of sharing it.

Many reading here will remember the case of Gerard Cheshire. He said he found the solution in two weeks. He was completely certain that he was right. He could never be convinced that he was wrong, even when everybody tried to point it out to him. Very similar case, but most of that discussion took place after he shared the principles of his solution in some papers.

I have been asked many times to comment on proposed solutions. In the majority of cases, the person was not asking for my opinion or advice, but was just looking for a confirmation that he/she was right. When my feedback was not this confirmation, it was rejected, usually in relatively unfriendly terms. Not always though! There were some completely reasonable exceptions. Usually, I had to promise (or sign for) discretion.

About the probability that a proposed solution from someone not familiar with most of the previous analyses is right: I would put this generously at 10**-6 (1E-6). It should be lower, but smaller numbers become too difficult to argue.
That's what we are talking about here. (The probability that Koen's analysis is correct is well over 50%, without having seen it of course).
